Treating diabetes with homoeopathy

Discussed below is how diabetes can be treated with homoeopathy. A case has been discussed to elucidate things more.

What is diabetes?

Diabetes affects the body's ability to use blood sugar for energy. The main types include type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, and gestational diabetes. Diabetes insipidus, a rare disorder, is not related to diabetes mellitus (sugar diabetes). Diabetes symptoms may include increased thirst and urination, blurred vision, and fatigue.

It is unfortunate that most of diabetics think insulin is the medicine to cure diabetes. The fact is that insulin is the only management of the case. It is the substitute to replace the insulin deficiency in the body. Similarly various diet restrictions also are the complementary substances to mange diabetes. But what about cure? Cure I mean the stage of life where the patient will not take anti diabetes medicine any more and still live a healthy life. We see a patient of diabetes is put under medication first then after some days we find that he has to replace medicine with low doses of insulin injection. After few more days the insulin doses are still increased. Some time later we see that the patient has developed diabetes cataract, diabetes foot etc. This is not at all the cure. Though we have prepared diabetes sweets to diabetes shoes but these are only for the management of the case. Why are not we thinking of cure?

In homeopathy we have a very promising approach to cure diabetes. Here the approach sounds very peculiar and it needs a lot of sincerity from the homoeopath to prescribe the remedy. In homeopathy the remedies are not generalised, rather individualised. For each and every individual the remedy is different. Homeopathy treats the patient but not the disease. Let us see some examples.

Case-1

Mr N, aged 60 is having Diabetes Mellitus (DM) since 10 years. Since then he feels thirst very often but he takes little water at a time. He also has hypertension.

Past medical history shows typhoid. Family medical history shows father- diabetes, Mother- Arthritis, Uncle (maternal) - asthma

All physical generalities like appetite, thirst, sweat, sleep etc. are normal.

In mental generalities we got some individualistic symptoms. They are-

- Unrealistic financial insecurity. Though he has a lot of wealth but feels as if something will happen and he will lose them.

- Physical insecurity. Always there is fear of ill health. Fear of cancer is mostly there. That is why he used to visit all possible number of doctors and consumes all possible varieties of remedies.

- Avarice. Though he is a wealthy person but while paying even medicine cost he is hesitant. Always puts a string on every expense.

- Fastidious. Everything he wants to know in detail.

Remedy selection- The above mental generalities clubbed with DM, hypertension, thirst for small quantity of water in small interval indicated the remedy ARSENICUM ALBUM.

Case-2

Mrs A aged 55 has DM since 7 years. Often has gastric problem. Off let developed joint pain.

Past medical history shows nothing abnormal. Family medical history shows ,brother died of cancer, mother had arthritis.

All physical generalities were normal.

By nature very sweet speaking and having polite attitude. Whatever work her family members load on her shoulder she will do definitely.

On further enquiry the mental picture reflected as follows. After marriage she lived in the joint family of in-laws. The mother-in-law was very dominating. There was even no independence of eating and talking. Even a small mistake of her will bring severe criticism from mother-in-law that to in the form of a big shout and scolding. Though she used to feel angry internally but never allowed to express it. This situation continued for around 15 years. Prolonged suppression of anger reflected physically in the form of DM later.

This cause of suppressed anger resulting DM called for the remedy STAPHYSAGRIA.

Treating diabetes with homoeopathy

Given below are symptoms of diabetes and how homoeopathy can help in treating this illness.

According to recent survey reports about 5% of the total world population is suffering from Diabetes Mellitus. The incidence rate is also reasonably high in India. Currently about 20% of Indian Population is at High risk to develop Diabetes Mellitus in future i.e. they are having abnormal glucose Tolerance test. Studies have revealed that diabetic women suffer more than men. A male who is diabetic has double the chances of a heart failure. In case of women it grows to almost 5 times and it is 8 times more if the patient is a young female.

Diabetes is associated with long term complications that affect almost every major part of the body. It contributes to Blindness, Heart Disease, Stroke, Kidney Failure, Amputations, and Nerve Damage. Uncontrolled diabetes can complicate pregnancy.

What is Diabetes?

Diabetes is a metabolic disorder where the human body either does not produce or properly use insulin, a hormone that is required to convert Sugar , Starches and other food into Energy .The human body has to maintain the Blood Glucose level within a very narrow range, which is done with insulin and glucagons. Diabetes is defined as abnormally High sugar level in blood and presence of sugar in urine due to lack or decreased proportion of Insulin in human body. The Normal Blood Sugar levels should not exceed more than 100 mg% in Fasting state and 140 mg% , 2 hours after food in take which is called PP ( Post Perandial).

Types of Diabetes

Type I : This occur in young people, usually before the age of 20 years. Insulin is essential for its treatment.

Type II : It may occur at any age group but usually diagnosed after the age of 40 years. Oral hypoglycemic agents are the choice of treatment. Insulin is required only occasionally for the treatment of Type II diabetes.

Gestational Diabetes : It is detected during pregnancy. Treatment is usually not required. Blood sugar levels come down to the Normal after delivery of the baby.

DIABETES (Type - I) Also known as Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (IDDM ).

Diabetes mellitus is a syndrome ( group/set of symptoms) characterized by increased level of sugar (glucose) in the blood due to deficiency or inactivity of hormone “Insulin” that is absolutely necessary to monitor glucose metabolism of body. It occurs when Pancreas no longer produces any or very little Insulin. The immune system attacks the insulin producing Beta Cells in the pancreas and destroy them. Insulin is needed in the body to use sugar for producing energy. Approximately 10% of people with diabeteshave Type-I diabetes. Someone with IDDM needs daily injections of Insulin.

Diabetes is a worldwide disease and if not attended properly leads to serious complications.

IDDM (Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus) or Type 1 diabetes is result of decreased production of hormone ‘”Insulin” by the pancreas (the organ that synthesizes insulin). Various factors including viral infections, stress, certain foods are known to trigger or aggravate the condition. But the root cause is disturbance of immune system where the defense mechanism of own body starts attacking the organs of own body and tissues. Some genetic factors and inborn errors are at the basis of this alteration in the immunity. Type I Diabetes is a constitutional disorder as it is an offshoot of constitutional defects (genetic factors, altered immunity) having an impact on the entire constitution of an individual. Hence it calls for an in-depth constitutional approach for its management.

DIABETES (Type II) or NIDDM ( Non Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus)

The remaining 90% are Non Insulin dependent Diabetes Mellitus (NIDDM) or Type II Diabetes .It occurs when the Pancreas does not produce enough insulin or when the body does not use the insulin though it is produced effectively. It is more frequently observed in individuals who are obese. These are the individuals who have normal or less than normal production of insulin, but more importantly some body mechanism poses obstacle to the action of Insulin. The risk factors for this disorder include age, lifestyle (overeating with inactivity), pregnancy etc. But the most important factor is genetic defect that make one prone to this condition. Diabetes is a constitutional disorder as it is an offshoot of constitutional defect (genetic factors) having an impact on entire constitution of an individual. Hence it calls for an in-depth constitutional approach for its management.

GESTATIONALL DIABETES

It is a temporary condition which occurs during pregnancy. It affects 0.5% of pregnant women, with 40% of those cases developing into Type-II Diabetes later in life times. Treatment is usually not required. Blood sugar levels come down to the Normal after delivery of the baby.

SYMPTOMS

In both types of Diabetes , Signs and Symptoms are more likely to be similar as the Blood Sugar is High, either due to less or no production of Insulin, or Insulin resistance.

Diabetes can also be asymptomatic, however, the common symptoms are Increased Thirst, Appetite, Increased Urination, Sudden Loss of Weight or Increase in Weight, Easy Fatigability, Pruritis (Itching) - usually around ******* Organs, Numbness of Limbs, Non Haling of Cuts and Wounds, Frequently Changing Vision Power, Recurrent Skin Infections ( Fungal and Pyogenic). Few people are diagnosed only at the time of routine screening test before tooth extraction, operations or before starting the L.I.C. policies. Therefore people suffering with the above mentioned symptoms must go for blood sugar Testing.

Diabetes Type-I

In type-I the pancreas stops producing insulin due to an autoimmune response or possibly, a viral attack on the pancreas. In the absence of insulin body cells do not get the required glucose for producing ATP( Adenosin Triphosphate) units, which results in primary symptoms in the form of nausea and vomiting. In later stages, which lead to breaking down the muscle tissue and fat for producing energy causing fast weight loss.

Diabetes Type - II

- INCREASED FATIGUE :- Unexplainable weakness, due to inefficiency of the cell in the metabolizing Glucose the reserve fat of the body is metabolized to gain energy.

- POLYDIPSIA :- As the concentration of Glucose increases in the blood the brain receives signals for diluting it and in its counteraction patient feels Thirsty.

- POLYURIA :- Increased in urine production is due to excess glucose present in the body, which gets rid of the extra sugar in the blood by excreting it through urine. This leads to dehydration because along with sugar a large amount of water is also excreted out of the body.

- POLYPHAGIA:- The hormone insulin is also responsible for stimulating Hunger. In order to cope up with high sugar levels in blood the body produces insulin which leads to increased hunger.

- WEIGHT FLUCTUATION :- Factors like loss of water (polyuria), glucosuria, metabo;ism of body fat and protein may lead to weight loss.

- BLURRY VISION :- Hyperosmolar hyperglycemia nonketotic syndrome is the condition when body fluid is pulled out of tissues including lenses of the eye, which affects its ability to focus resulting in blurry vision.

- POOR WOUND HEALING :- High blood sugar constrain the flourishing of WBC,(White Blood Cells) which are responsible for the body’s immune system. When these cells do not function properly wounds do not heal properly.

HOMOEOPATHIC APPROACH

Homoeopathy is based on the principle that disease is a total affliction of body. Moreover homoeopathy recognizes importance of root cause such as genetic and inherited factors as a root of any ailment of the body. The homoeopathy medicines prescribed on such strong footings plays a crucial role in management of many deep-rooted, chronic, difficult diseases; one amongst them being Diabetes. Diabetes cannot be cure completely but can effectively controlled. People with diabetes can lead a healthy life if their blood glucose level is under control. The decrease in life span of a diabetic is restored to normal by maintaining good blood glucose control( 90 – 120 mg/dl Fasting and with less than180mg/dl as PP(2 Hrs. after meals).

Homeopathic treatment: When we talk about diseases like diabetes, we talk in terms of management rather than cure. Homoeopathy can be a major player in the management of Diabetes. Timely-administered homoeopathy medicines not only assist in maintaining levels of sugar, protein and fat metabolism, but also helps in preventing further progress and hence complications of the disease. The precipitating factors of diabetes like BP, Obesity etc. can be helped by homoeopathic medication. The complications of Diabetes also can be helped tremendously with homoeopathy. If homoeopathic treatment is opted earlier far less number of case would go to the stage of Amputation etc. The Non Healing Diabetic Ulcers have been cured with homoeopathy in our clinic. I have seen even in old patients of Diabetes where the medicines stopped working and they needed change in medication & had to go for stronger medicines, at this point when we gave those patients Constitutional Homoeopathic remedies it showed very encouraging results and to their pleasant surprise the same medicines started acting again without going in for a change, stronger medicine or increasing the dosage. Certainly along with homoeopathic medication the quality of life of the patients of Diabetics have improved tremendously, as homoeopathy works in enhancing the natural defensive mechanism of the body and also treat the precipitating factor and hence saves the complications too. This is how it is said that “Homoeopathy Ensures Health Safely”.

Diabetes and Homeopathy

REAL CURE. GENTLE CURE.
According to new consult reports about 5% of the sum universe race is pang from Diabetes Mellitus. The occurrence rate is additionally pretty tall in India. Currently about 20% of Indian Population is during High risk to rise Diabetes Mellitus in destiny i.e. they have been carrying aberrant glucose Tolerance test. Studies have suggested which diabetic women humour some-more than men. A masculine who is diabetic has stand in the chances of the heart failure. In box of women it grows to roughly 5 times as well as it is 8 times some-more if the studious is the immature female.

Diabetes is compared with prolonged tenure complications which start roughly each vital partial of the body. It contributes to Blindness, Heart Disease, Stroke, Kidney Failure, Amputations, as well as Nerve Damage. Uncontrolled diabetes can mystify pregnancy.

What is Diabetes?

Diabetes is the metabolic commotion where the tellurian physique presumably does not furnish or scrupulously have make have use of of of insulin, the hormone which is compulsory to modify Sugar , Starches as well as alternative food in to Energy .The tellurian physique has to say the Blood Glucose turn inside of the really slight range, which is finished with insulin as well as glucagons. Diabetes is tangible as abnormally High sugarine turn in red red red red red red red red red red blood as well as participation of sugarine in urine due to miss or decreased suit of Insulin in tellurian body. The Normal Blood Sugar levels should not surpass some-more than 100 mg% in Fasting state as well as 140 mg% , 2 hours after food in take which is called PP ( Post Perandial).

Types of Diabetes

Type we : This start in immature people, customarily prior to the age of twenty years. Insulin is compulsory for the treatment.

Type II : It might start during any age organisation yet customarily diagnosed after the age of 40 years. Oral hypoglycemic agents have been the preference of treatment. Insulin is compulsory customarily spasmodic for the diagnosis of Type II diabetes.

Gestational Diabetes : It is rescued during pregnancy. Treatment is customarily not required. Blood sugarine levels come down to the Normal after smoothness of the baby.

DIABETES (Type - I) Also well well known as Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (IDDM ).

Diabetes mellitus is the set of symptoms ( group/set of symptoms) characterized by augmenting turn of sugarine (glucose) in the red red red red red red red red red red blood due to scarcity or loitering of hormone “Insulin” which is positively compulsory to guard glucose metabolic rate of body. It occurs when Pancreas no longer produces any or really small Insulin. The defence complement attacks the insulin producing Beta Cells in the pancreas as well as fall short them. Insulin is indispensable in the physique to have make have use of of of sugarine for producing energy. Approximately 10% of people with diabeteshave Type-I diabetes. Someone with IDDM needs every day injections of Insulin.

Diabetes is the worldwide mildew as well as if not attended scrupulously leads to critical complications.

IDDM (Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus) or Type 1 diabetes is outcome of decreased prolongation of hormone ‘”Insulin” by the pancreas (the organ which synthesizes insulin). Various factors together with viral infections, stress, sure dishes have been well well known to trigger or irritate the condition. But the base means is reeling of defence complement where the invulnerability resource of own physique starts aggressive the viscera of own physique as well as tissues. Some genetic factors as well as innate errors have been during the basement of this modification in the immunity. Type we Diabetes is the inherent commotion as it is an appendage of inherent defects (genetic factors, changed immunity) carrying an stroke upon the complete constitution of an individual. Hence it calls for an in-depth inherent proceed for the management.

DIABETES (Type II) or NIDDM ( Non Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus)

The superfluous 90% have been Non Insulin contingent Diabetes Mellitus (NIDDM) or Type II Diabetes .It occurs when the Pancreas does not furnish sufficient insulin or when the physique does not have make have use of of of the insulin yet it is constructed effectively. It is some-more often celebrated in people who have been obese. These have been the people who have normal or reduction than normal prolongation of insulin, yet some-more importantly the little physique resource poses barrier to the movement of Insulin. The risk factors for this commotion embody age, lifestyle (overeating with inactivity), conceiving physically etc. But the most critical means is genetic forsake which have the single disposed to this condition. Diabetes is the inherent commotion as it is an appendage of inherent forsake (genetic factors) carrying an stroke upon complete constitution of an individual. Hence it calls for an in-depth inherent proceed for the management.

GESTATIONALL DIABETES

It is the proxy condition which occurs during pregnancy. It affects 0.5% of profound women, with 40% of those cases building in to Type-II Diabetes after in hold up times. Treatment is customarily not required. Blood sugarine levels come down to the Normal after smoothness of the baby.

SYMPTOMS

In both sorts of Diabetes , Signs as well as Symptoms have been some-more expected to be identical as the Blood Sugar is High, presumably due to reduction or no prolongation of Insulin, or Insulin resistance.

Diabetes can additionally be asymptomatic, however, the usual symptoms have been Increased Thirst, Appetite, Increased Urination, Sudden Loss of Weight or Increase in Weight, Easy Fatigability, Pruritis (Itching) - customarily around Genital Organs, Numbness of Limbs, Non Haling of Cuts as well as Wounds, Frequently Changing Vision Power, Recurrent Skin Infections ( Fungal as well as Pyogenic). Few people have been diagnosed customarily during the time of slight screening exam prior to tooth extraction, operations or prior to starting the L.I.C. policies. Therefore people pang with the upon top of referred to symptoms contingency go for red red red red red red red red red red blood sugarine Testing.

Diabetes Type-I

In type-I the pancreas stops producing insulin due to an autoimmune reply or possibly, the viral conflict upon the pancreas. In the deficiency of insulin physique cells do not get the compulsory glucose for producing ATP( Adenosin Triphosphate) units, which formula in first symptoms in the form of revulsion as well as vomiting. In after stages, which lead to violation down the flesh hankie as well as fat for producing appetite causing quick weight loss.

Diabetes Type - II

- INCREASED FATIGUE :- Unexplainable weakness, due to inefficiency of the dungeon in the metabolizing Glucose the haven fat of the physique is metabolized to benefit energy.

- POLYDIPSIA :- As the thoroughness of Glucose increases in the red red red red red red red red red red blood the brain receives signals for diluting it as well as in the counter-attack studious feels Thirsty.

- POLYURIA :- Increased in urine prolongation is due to additional glucose benefaction in the body, which gets absolved of the additional sugarine in the red red red red red red red red red red blood by excreting it by urine. This leads to dehydration since along with sugarine the vast volume of H2O is additionally excreted out of the body.

- POLYPHAGIA:- The hormone insulin is additionally obliged for stimulating Hunger. In sequence to cope up with tall sugarine levels in red red red red red red red red red red blood the physique produces insulin which leads to augmenting hunger.

- WEIGHT FLUCTUATION :- Factors similar to detriment of H2O (polyuria), glucosuria, metabo;ism of physique fat as well as protein might lead to weight loss.

- BLURRY VISION :- Hyperosmolar hyperglycemia nonketotic set of symptoms is the condition when physique liquid is pulled out of tissues together with lenses of the eye, which affects the capability to concentration ensuing in becloud vision.

- POOR WOUND HEALING :- High red red red red red red red red red red blood sugarine constrain the multiplying of WBC,(White Blood Cells) which have been obliged for the body’s defence system. When these cells do not duty scrupulously wounds do not reanimate properly.

HOMOEOPATHIC APPROACH

Homoeopathy is formed upon the element which mildew is the sum distress of body. Moreover homoeopathy recognizes significance of base means such as genetic as well as hereditary factors as the base of any ailment of the body. The homoeopathy medicines prescribed upon such clever footings plays the consequential purpose in government of most deep-rooted, chronic, formidable diseases; the single amongst them being Diabetes. Diabetes cannot be heal utterly yet can effectively controlled. People with diabetes can lead the full of health hold up if their red red red red red red red red red red blood glucose turn is underneath control. The diminution in hold up camber of the diabetic is easy to normal by progressing great red red red red red red red red red red blood glucose control( 90 – 120 mg/dl Fasting as well as with reduction than180mg/dl as PP(2 Hrs. after meals).

Homeopathic treatment: When we speak about diseases similar to diabetes, we speak in conditions of government rsther than than cure. Homoeopathy can be the vital player in the government of Diabetes. Timely-administered homoeopathy medicines not customarily support in progressing levels of sugar, protein as well as fat metabolism, yet additionally helps in preventing serve swell as well as as the result complications of the disease. The precipitating factors of diabetes similar to BP, Obesity etc. can be helped by homoeopathic medication. The complications of Diabetes additionally can be helped tremendously with homoeopathy. If homoeopathic diagnosis is opted progressing distant reduction series of box would go to the theatre of Amputation etc. The Non Healing Diabetic Ulcers have been marinated with homoeopathy in the clinic. we have seen even in aged patients of Diabetes where the medicines stopped operative as well as they needed shift in remedy & had to go for stronger medicines, during this point when we gave those patients Constitutional Homoeopathic remedies it showed really enlivening formula as well as to their pleasing warn the same medicines proposed behaving again but starting in for the change, stronger disinfectant or augmenting the dosage. Certainly along with homoeopathic remedy the peculiarity of hold up of the patients of Diabetics have softened tremendously, as homoeopathy functions in enhancing the healthy defensive resource of the physique as well as additionally provide the precipitating means as well as as the result saves the complications too. This is how it is pronounced which “Homoeopathy Ensures Health Safely”.
